Book Synopsis Kelly Clarkson: A Biography by : Lucilla Barilla
Download or read book Kelly Clarkson: A Biography written by Lucilla Barilla and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Her face stained with tears and the confetti that never seemed to stop falling from the studio sky, Kelly Clarkson made “American Idol” history as the show’s first groundbreaking winner. Her voice, strained from several months of non-stop singing, was barely audible during a performance of what would be her first single, “A Moment Like This” and she needed assistance from other Idol contestants to finish the song to its last note. But what was really going through her head was, how did she get here? Would she become a different person? Little did she know that the evening of September 4, 2002 would change her life forever. Kelly Clarkson, a twenty-year old from the small town of Burleson, Texas had finally made it to the big time. But was it what she really wanted? In an interview with The Guardian, Kelly revealed that she did not know what to expect when she first auditioned for “Idol”. The whole concept of reality television was still in its infancy stages and “Idol” would be the first live singing competition of its kind where the viewers would ultimately pick the winner. She revealed, “I had no idea what the show was until the third audition. My life goal was just to be a backup singer. I never intended to be up front. But then my apartment in L.A. burned down and I had to move home. I had no money and I had to sleep in my car for three days. I just auditioned for this thing that said they’d pay you, and it happened to be “American Idol”. I didn’t go into it thinking this would pappen; I went into it thinking it might pay my electric bill.” When Kelly heard about the “American Idol” auditions, she was skeptical of the process. She revealed, “When I auditioned, I only had a bunch of photographs to my name. I figured I’d get to sing and make some money to pay the bills. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK One aspect of her life that Kelly has not been as forthcoming about has been her romantic relationships. She writes about her feelings in song, but rarely names anyone they are attributed to. What we do know about Clarkson’s personal life is that she doesn’t like to kiss and tell (at least to a person’s face) and that she is true to the person she is involved with for the duration of their relationship. In the beginning of her career, Clarkson was reportedly linked to “Idol” runner-up Justin Guarini. Their friendship further deepened when the two were contractually bound to the box-office disaster, “From Justin to Kelly”, released in 2003. Shot in a mere five weeks, the film was a musical/comedy that was meant to capitalize on the success of “Idol” and resurrect the beach/musicals that were popular in the 1960s. Clarkson later said of the debacle to Time Magazine, “I knew when I read the script it was going to be real, real bad, but when I won, I signed that piece of paper and I could not get out of it. Two words, contractually obligated.” According to an interview Kelly did with MTV when the movie was released, she explained, “(Justin and I) We’re like brother and sister. We only kissed once in the movie. And we’ve done stage kisses and romance scenes and everything before, so it wasn’t anything big.” During the promotional tour for her “Thankful” CD, Kelly fell hard for singer/songwriter Graham Colton, but the relationship ended six months later. Kelly revealed to the German magazine Bravo, “I’m not sad really, because our relationship made me believe in love again.” She was also linked in 2007 to Evanescence keyboardist, David Hodges. She candidly revealed to Blender Magazine, “I didn’t even really like the guy... Buy the book to continue reading! Follow @hyperink on Twitter!

Book Synopsis American Idol by : Richard Rushfield
Download or read book American Idol written by Richard Rushfield and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The currency is fame, and it's bigger than money, more desired than power. Each season American Idol delivers on a promise whose epic scope is unparalleled in the annals of competition: to take an unknown dreamer from the middle of America and turn him or her into a genuine star. It has become not only the biggest show on television, but the biggest force in all of entertainment; its alumni dominate the recording charts and Broadway, win Academy Awards, and sweep up Grammys. In fact, American Idol has reshaped the very idea of celebrity. But it didn't start out that way. When the little singing contest debuted as a summer replacement on the U.S. airwaves, it was packed between reruns and low-cost filler. The promise that it would find America's next pop star produced a hearty round of guffaws from the country's media critics. Now, some ten years and millions of records later, no one is laughing. American Idol: The Untold Story chronicles the triumphs and travails, the harrowing backstage drama and the nail-biting onstage battles that built this revolutionary show. In this revealing book, veteran journalist Richard Rushfield goes deeper inside the circus than any reporter ever has. Candid interviews with Idol alumni, including Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell, shed new light on the show that changed the entertainment industry. And because Rushfield had full access to the people who created the show, starred in it, and kept it atop the pop culture pyramid, this book is the first to take Americans behind the curtain and tell what has really been happening on the world's most watched and speculated-about stage.

Some of what you experience you are prepared for and some of it you aren't. To quote the country music prophet Aaron Tippin, 'You've got to stand for somethin' or you'll fall for anything.' Scotty McCreery stands for something. You hear it in his voice. You see it in his actions. And you feel it in his songs. This book outlines the wild ride he's been on being thrust into the world." --Josh Turner, Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum-selling MCA recording artist and bestselling author
Book Synopsis Letters to Kelly Clarkson by : Julia Bloch
Download or read book Letters to Kelly Clarkson written by Julia Bloch and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. LBGT Studies. In this sequence of prose poems addressed to 2002 American Idol reality TV show winner and insta-star Kelly Clarkson, Julia Bloch engages an America more willing to choose its next Fox, Coke, and Ford spokesperson than its next elected official. Through these letters, Bloch disassembles the faux-political phenomenon of the Fox Network reality TV smash hit, invoking critical questions about celebrity, democracy, femininity, and desire, as well as the mass cultural corporatization of the female body. LETTERS TO KELLY CLARKSON takes up these issues in poems that combine the intimacy of the epistolary form with the sonic intensity of verse. Employing formal methodologies aimed at interrupting and foregrounding the cultural politics of that intimate address, such as cut-ups, aleatory practices, non-narrative prose techniques, and parataxis, these poems mediate the tensions between local pleasure and global capital through the desirous and politicized spectacle of the pop star. "As Julia Bloch turns her razor-sharp gaze to American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, she adopts the beseeching tone of a fan and the intimate address of a best girl confidante. All women know what it's like to be watched, but for Kelly, it's that scary feeling upped a notch, like the viewers' eyes have been pumped full of steroids. The gaze works both ways: the ghost of Kelly Clarkson follows Bloch everywhere, from San Francisco girl bars to Midwestern family reunions. For all their complexity of diction, there's a touching simplicity to Bloch's poems. By taking Kelly seriously, on her own terms, Bloch moves beyond the safety of 'camp' into a realm of genuine tragedy and love. It's a stunning collection." Dodie Bellamy"
